im getting rid of my pod and going back to stock airbox coz i dont see the need in making a cold air partition or box when basically thats already what the stock airbox is, but im baffled about two things

1. whats filter to use in the stock airbox ? yes im boosting it, got a powerfc, getting a new fornt mount soon and everything so i guess ill need good flow, what filter should i use ?

2. when i get my enw trust frotn mount kit, will the stock airbox fit ? because if it wont i will scrap the idea about the stock airbox, get a good pod and build somehting custom to fit with the trust cooler

btw the car is an r33 gtst :P

thanks guys

many people seem to use the k&n replacement filters for the stock air box and i haven't heard any bad reports about it yet either, so the the flow and filtering must somewhat be good :D So i suggest you give that a little research.

lethal,

From what I've heard the K&N filter for the stock box is the way to go.

Also I have a custom FM cooler out the front of mine with the stock airbox......it depends where the pipes for the cooler are run. You can get FMI kits with pipes that need the stock box removed or not.....its your choice!

Most after market intercooler kits ensure that you will have to go a POD filter.

so before spending money on the panel filter, make sure that the intercooler kit you are after allows the box to stay.

Although, I guess you could always sell the panel filter off later.

I bought a second hand TRUST panel filter for a standard air box on my R32 for $50.

And you still get the sucking sound and bov sounds.. believe me..
